6 time-saving tips for working with tables in Zoho Writer
Tables have always been the best way to represent data. They help you structure and categorize information systematically and present them in a simpler way. While tables in Zoho Writer are easy to implement, some tasks might not be that obvious. Here are some time-saving tips to help you work better with tables in Zoho Writer: 1. Insert Multiple Rows / Columns in a Table Adding more rows and columns is the most common action performed while working with tables. Instead of using the Table tab,Writer loads as a blank page.
Hi, I'm new to zoho but I liked the idea of an online wordprocessor that I can use from multiple computers. I signed up a few hours ago while at work where our computers use Linus Ubuntu and a Firefox browser and the Writer came up fine. Now I'm home and using my Windows machine with Norton Firewall and Firefox and the writer opens as a blank page. I've checked my security options in both Firefox & Norton and I have received all the cookies from Zoho. What gives?Zoho Writer can be slow to load sometimes
Hello! I've noticed that whenever I restart my web browser (Firefox 2) and try to open Zoho Writer, it always shows the login screen first, even if I have an URL direct to the writing interface itself. I don't recall it doing this in an older version, so why does it happen now? Also, sometimes when starting Zoho Writer, it gets stuck: I see the word "Loading..." come up and the page half-extends but never fully loads. I have to refresh the page totally in order to get it to work properly, but doingPageless mode needed to modernise Writer
When we switched from GSuite to Zoho, one of the easiest apps I found to give up, was Docs. In many ways, Writer has always been more powerful than Docs, especially in terms of workflows/fillable forms/etc. However, I went back into Docs because I noticeDate-based conditions and filters

Twice in the last week I have had problems saving Writer documents. Any work done during that session was lost. The problems occurred on two different machines, both using Firefox. I did get an error message indicating that I should copy my work before exiting. Foolishly, I didn't follow that advice because when I tried to save it again, it appeared that it was saving it. ArthurImporting a pdf document into Zoho Writer
Hi, Despite knowing that pdf cannot be imported (from the Import wizard), when I try doing that, I got a message that '.pdf is currently not supported'. I m curious in knowing whether this will be supported in the near future. thanks & regards Balamurugan BNotification of edited shared docs
I see how to share my documents, and I see that I can easily email the others with whom I am sharing my documents. But when they change the document, I would like one of these to happen: - Either provide a way for them to inform me that they have read and edited my document or - have the system automatically email all people on the "shared" list for a document that the document has been edited. The first option is preferable, otherwise all people might receive an email every time a doc is saved --How do I create a two column document

B2evolution supports metaWeblog API, but the only instructions for setting up blogging from Zoho writer that I could find were for blogger.com, wordpress.com, typepad.com and for WordPress.org blog if hosted on my own server.

I quote: "For posting to your custom WordPress.org blog hosted in your own server please do the following steps: Click on the ‘Publish’ link & choose the ‘Post toCustom Wordpress
Do you think you could add support for custom Wordpress blogs?

Hello, I have a self hosted WP blog. When I create and post a doc from zoho to my blog, it works fine. I see the post in the admin panel. However, even though the timestamp is the correct time, it tells me the blog post will not be posted for another 5 hours ...

Hi, I would love to use ZOHO as my default word processor, but as an academic I rely on bibliographic managers (Reference Manager in particular) for my work. Is there any consideration into adding this functionality into ZOHO? LesOutline Feature, Zoho Superiority
First Off, I love Zoho Writer. You guys have Find and Replace feature, one button! So much better than Google Documents! Nevertheless, I also like JotSpot a lot. BUT, I was using their ToDo application to manage some lists because it had some nice features. Ultimately, though, it was too buggy, and lacked certain things, that made me decide to move my lists to a document (on Zoho). But, here is what I really wish you guys had -- a way to expand/collapse bulleted or numbered lists. For example, inOutlining?
Are collapsible outlines, similar to Microsoft Word, in your plans for Zoho Writer? cybercroneIntegrating Zoho Suite and apps more with Linux

What I am really looking for is a great outliner. Do you know of one? E.g. that will do multi-level outlines (with customizable labels) and which can be collapsed/expanded--just like Word. That would be a great product. Perhaps OPML is appropriate to build it around? spincycleCollapse Outlines?
Is it possible to collapse an outline so that only the numbered outline is visible and not the notes and text? Thanks!Password Protection
I am seeking applications such as Zoho Writer for use by South Texas College of Law faculty and students. The college has security specifications for applications like this which include: - Restricting the ability to publish documents, and concomitantly restricting access to documents (the latter already exists in Zoho Writer) - Restricting the ability to upload files - Restricting the ability to save files to local computers (downloading) In other words we need password-protected access to thesePost to blog

Is there a way to do this so the images remain in place?ZOHO Writer Folders
Hi We would love to have ability to create folders on the left hand side. We would then be able create and store our documents within each folder Hope you can provide this feature soon ! dux.centraZoho writer
To include images,you are taking only a few formats...please include others ,such as .svg format used in graphs. Thanks The Zoho writer is very useful and easy to use.Timestamp
Might it be possible to add a timestamp button? I use Zoho for journalling and would find this most helpful. If you could select how the timestamps would look that would be way cool as well. So, depending on the need you could have timestamps that look like any of the following: 08/09/2006 or 09/08/2006 for non-US users 08 August 2006 August 08, 2006 08 August 2006 08:45 For my needs, time in 24 hour notation works fine, but others might like it in am/pm form. At any rate, that feature would be mostHelp Me Please !!!! (lol)
I am a student at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro studying collaborative writing tools for a group project, and need 2 persons with any type of experience using Zoho Writer that are willing to be interviewed. It is not long, and may just take 5-10 minutes depending on how detailed the responses are. We are researching how people use online tools to work in virtual teams. My group is focusing only on tools created primarily for writing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The questionsImporting Client addreses into a letter created in ZOHO Writer
Hi There, Does anyone know how to import addresses from the ZOHO CRM or ZOHO Contact Manager into a field within a ZOHO writer letter? Ive created a letter with the company address and client address but i'm wanting to link the letter to a client contact and in-turn update the address in my letter. Thank you RebeccaGerman spell check a bit sketchy
Lots of false positives and it almost always marks correctly spelled words as incorrect for a second then changes it. This is especially true when importing or copy-pasting content into a document. Zoho's multilingual spell checking is still much better than Google Docs or LibreOffice, both of which are just plain unusable.Transitioning from MS Word to Writer: A complete walkthrough
Hello everyone! We understand moving to a new word processing tool can be difficult, especially if it means switching from a legacy software like MS Word. That's why we've organized an exclusive webinar where we talk you through ways to make your switch from MS Word to Writer as easy as possible. In this webinar, you'll learn: - Why Writer is a simple yet powerful alternative to MS Word. - How to locate your favorite MS Word features and functions in Writer. - How to migrate your Word documentsChange Authorship/Delete Personal Information
I'd like to know if there is a feature to change the authorship of a zoho document, or when you save it in a different format like docx (not just change who the owner of the document is). I'd also like to know if there is a way to delete the personal information that may be attached to a document. Would appreciate being able to have documents that are anonymous/ don't contain my personal user information.Next Page
